Gold Souk Video: Dubai is the City of Gold

The gold market is a remarkable place because you will find the biggest gold ring here, gold dresses and accessories that are really outrageous for their size and style.  See the full video below:

The great thing is that this is also good place to purchase because the quality and the price is better.
